Axis: Bold As Love

Good none of the songs stood out

Was a poster on my college wall for most of college Great guitar and bass

Not my favorite Hendrix album, but another easy listen. Feel like he doesn't get enough credit as a songwriter, people just think woo-hoo-guitar-guy.

Dice Vic que está psicodélico

Me encantó el juego con el paneo y obviamente la guitarra de Jimi. Quizá en algunos puntos es mucha psicodelia pero hay varias rolas muy buenas.

I had not listened to a lot of his albums. The sound I expected. Nice.

Good driving music

not as good as first, more mellow, some classics

Good stuff

Liked it, though I think it merits another listen. I don't feel I was able to truly appreciate it yet.

Overall very nice sound, not any particular love for any of the songs

Not bad

Solid elguitar, kreativt, rock

Hell yes

Listened to it while running. A little too experimental, especially the first track.

4/10… psychedelic rock / *1967

Masterful gutar work, unfortunately just not my favorite album

2/5 A few good songs on this but nothing blew me away.

It was hendrix

I said it before, I grew up not really liking Hendrix's music. As I got older, I began to appreciate it more, but this album in particular, I just don't like that much. Unquestionably talented, and influential... I just don't like this one very much.

idk TT

Pretty patchy. Outside the obvious bangers it's a lot of filler, or half-finished sounding stuff. Great cover though

Previously unknown. OK.

We've seen better from Jimi

One of his weaker albums in my view

I know Hendrix has always been more instruments over lyrics but to me this wasn’t even trying. You could not hear what they were saying half the time and the other times it just kept repeating over and over. Castles made of sand was the only song I liked off of it.

A little meandering for my tastes.

So 60s psychedelic cool 😎 But a bit too much. You could get away with it back then.

not bad but not my cup of tea

The guy was an awesome musician, but I just can’t get into his stuff

Not an album I'd listen to again but I finished it before I knew it so not bad. 2,2/5

Not my style of music, I was pretty bored with it.

Great guitar player, but on record this is not fully displayed. Too short songs with awful fade-outs. Only the longest track, If 6 was 9, you hear the real strength of Jimi Hendrix.

Es ist ein Album voller Ideen, aber nicht jedes davon zündet. Hendrix’ Gitarrenspiel ist natürlich überragend, doch die Platte wirkt oft wie ein Übergangswerk: weniger roh als Are You Experienced, aber auch nicht so visionär wie Electric Ladyland. Viele Songs schweben im psychedelischen Wohlklang, ohne echten Druck oder Fokus.

not for me. i don’t hate it but if i wasn’t committed to listening to the whole album i would turn it off.

I am not a fan of Jimi Hendrix

I’m not a huge fan and this album seemed extra weird to me. DNF

It was okay, not my style but some tracks I did enjoy and bopped to slightly which are Ain't No Telling and Little Wing (my favorite from this album). Maybe this was too mature for my liking, I guess? I think my dad would definitely enjoy this since he's a huge fan. I'd give it a 4/10.

Greit album, føle æ høre mye der som minne mæ på eldre rock. Virke som det kanskje var et grunnleggende album, altså at det introduserte mye nytt til rock sjangern (men vet jo ikke mye om 60 tallet). Men så er det mulig om det kanskje er en fremvisning av tidlig jimi Hendrix sin musikkstil. Albumet viser alder med det at mye av musikken vist der har no blitt utviklet og gjengitt. Men med sin miks av rolige sanger og oppkvikkende gitarriffs på et album bare 39 minutter lang blir "Axis: Bold As Love" (Hendrix, J, 1967) en fin lytting for en rolig sommerdag. Beste sang: "Castles made of sand"

It would have been fun live. Unstructured and unformed here. Perhaps too soon after previous lp?

super overrated

Recommended to listen with headphones. Not enough flow, some good parts, but not enough for me. Needed more. songs I liked: Spanish Castle Magic, Wait Until Tomorrow 2/5

First Hendrix I haven’t loved, but still enjoyed

ik ben niet zo van de jimi hendrix bold as love wel leuk ik vind het niet nice als er gwn random geluid komt, like geef het een beetje structuur plz

Extremely talented guitarist. This album was great to listen to.

not my vibe

Started out with... no stop that straight away. Lurched into Jimi doing his blues rock thing and quickly fade from my memory.

It’s not for me, but I really did enjoy the carefree vibe these recordings gave me. You can tell they were having a lot of fun and it has a lot of character to it. I had never heard a Jimi Hendrix song before this!

so mid

This was boring

I didn't like it, maybe it was my mood but it just didn't click for me... But I liked the drums

A few bright spots - not even songs, parts of songs - but generally not feeling this. I like the cover tho!

goed maar niet helemaal mijn ding, paar in de playlist gezet

some of the least exciting music in the canon to me. it's hard to argue with Little Wing (though I could manage it if I were having a bad day), and the heavy psych-stomp of Spanish Castle Magic is pretty satisfying, but this is really boring otherwise - unless you count the other song about castles, which is execrably bad. oh well. at least there's only one Hendrix album left to go!

Skimmed

"Up From the Skies" is quite the trippy listening experience

Meh

Not my style

Didnt like it too much, i didnt even finish it fr. Perhaps its not for me, perhaps i just wasnt in the mood. Deffo not a bad album but i was just NOT feeling it

Best Track - "If 6 Was 9"

It all blended together in a messy (but clearly very competent) compote. Didn't hate it but it just didn't click.

Just was not feeling this album. I have heard many of his songs and they hit. maybe I just wasn't feeling it, might give another listen.

60s rock. Psych rock, acid rock. Much preferred first album. More chaotic and trippy.

Me gusto más allá de no ser mi tipo de música. Es un disco del que había escuchado hablar pero nunca lo habiaa escuchado, muy bueno.

i think maybe not personally my fav thing, but giving it a chance was not actually a bad idea

Meh

Tiene cosas, pero no para mí. Creo que si fuera solo instrumental podría haber sido bastante interesante.

Alas, not for me.

cool album; would i listen again ... probably not

Definitely not for me

Vil give 2.5 - synes egentlig det er ret godt, og han er jo for sej!! men igen er det rent genremæssigt lidt for støjende til min smag, så jeg ville ikke sætte det på igen

An item in a musical museum that is highly precious and unrepeatable, that much I admit, but it really does nothing for me, the improv and inconsistent melodies are specifically something that I find as a big problem here... 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are a couple of songs on here I liked, but the lesser known Hendrix stuff never really resonates with me.

I have never been able to get into Jimi Hendrix. This album didn't change that. I am happy it exists, but it's not for me.

Maybe it's because I've only listened with one ear, but I feel like Hendrix's song writing really lacks substance and Coles off today as a cliche of it's own hippie themes. The talent of the musicians isn't really put forward by the production and the balance, despite the attempts at Beatles-esque expérimentation. The hits and highlights of the album still do underline Hendrix's talent which remains undeniable, but better serviced when covering other's music.

Niet mijn smaak

Nothing really wrong with this. I guess my expectations were higher on everything and I listened too critically with the inherent bias of listening to a guitar legend.

3/6 Was alright but not as good as Are You Experienced.

Går ju inte att underskatta hur mycket han påverkat all musik som innehåller en elgitarr, men för egen del så är det för konstigt psykadeliskt med en vibe jag inte alls begriper för njutbar lyssning. Om jag inte försöker vara diplomatisk så känns det mer som en techdemo än något som är kul att lyssna på. :fire:

Favorite Song: Little Wing

Clearly great if you like that sort of thing, but sadly I don't.

I've never been a massive Hendrix fan. This didn't do it for me. It feels like a product of its time TBH. Bit disappointed.

Fav: Little Wing Too much Talking, not as exciting as i thought it would be

Happy to hear but not my vibe

Not the easiest listen, only one or two songs I'd come back to.

Some superb guitar (as expected) and obviously a really experimental work but mostly not my thing. Far too often it descends into discordant noise. I much preferred Electric Lady Land.

Didn't care too much for this. Voice kinda sucks. Guitar is pretty cool but not very memorable to me

volevo mi piacesse. ma il genere psichedelico con sti suoni distorti mi irrita. o forse a irritarmi erano i problemi di fisica che stavo facendo con sto album in sottofondo

Meh

It was cool, great guitar riffs. But underwhelming as i unexpected because I’m not the biggest fan 60s

Good but dated, it's hard not to enjoy buuuuut I could be listening to something else

Boring as all hell and just a little mediocre and basic and mid af

Did not enjoy

L'album è sicuramente coeso, forse non di quelli che ho voglia di riascoltare.

Heb wel eens betere nummers van Hendrix gehoord

Not my favorite from Jimi. I really liked bold as love. I felt like I kept waiting for him to go crazy but I never really got it. Definitely felt like the late 60s rock. 3/13 songs saved. 1/13 saved to personal playlist

recognize the talent but not for me

It was good but every song that I thought I liked got too aggressive? For me?

fauvorite: bold as love

Ok

just wasn’t that special to me

i have to admit maybe i wasnt in the right headspace for this

The sound and style is undeniable but the songs just aren’t for me

This is is the stereo version of watching a film in 2009 then realizing the odd camera placement and focus on shit flying toward you is because it was a 3d film, with its aimless stereo shifting - Pointless and distracting as theater switches are not as revolutionary today. I've always found Jimi Hendrix so incredibly boring. He's got skills, yes. He's even got some hits. But this album has very little that is actually interesting on it. Finally after 3 songs I got interested 1/2 through Spanish castle magic Like Big Brother and the Holding Company there is too much let’s just jam and figure it out about this … ain’t no telling for example is all over the place Little wing is interesting , but a bit slow If 6 was 9 could almost be a Black Sabbath song at the start but then it goes astray But also a bit Gill Scott heron Wait till tomorrow is kind of funky and interesting but the mix is odd Like watching a mediocre sketch show - spotty quality and no one know how to end a song.

Started off by liking the rocking garagey stuff. Not so keen on the jazzy slowies. Nodded off halfway through.

not a fav

**An ok album

I respect Jimi's guitar playing ability and the tightness of his band and I know his playing has influenced so many other guitarists - I just don't find that I would want to actually go back and listen to most of these songs. His singing voice and lyrical content aren't really that interesting to me. Before listening, I had already "liked" Little Wing. It's a great song but too short. I did discover new songs that I like - such as Wait Until Tomorrow and Castle Made of Sand Liked songs on Spotify: 3/13 Rating: 2/5

I didn't hate it, but it was kinda meh.

He’s obviously incredibly skilled… but just not my taste

Idk not my type of music ig nice background noise and i respect the legacy but eeeeh

I’m too sober for this shit

not my cup of tea, não adorei as vibes e sons dissonantes, parece sempre a mesma música mas com ruídos diferentes

Ok, but not one of my favourites from him.

Oh boy expected to like this a lot more than I did

Some parts sounded nice but overall I didn't enjoy it. "Exp" - I hate this one. "Up From The Skies" - I don't like it. The music is too loud and I don't love how he is singing. "Spanish Castle Magic" - I don't like it. Guitar is amazing though. "Wait Until Tomorrow" - Didn't really like it. "Ain't No Telling" - Didn't really like. "Little Wing" - Didn't really like it. "If 6 Was 9" - No. "You Got Me Floatin'" - No. "Castles Made of Sand" - No. "She's So Fine" - No. "One Rainy Wish" - Like this one more. "Little Miss Lover" - No. "Bold As Love" - No.

"Exp" - this hurts "Up From The Skies" - terribly mixed, i hate his voice, not even a fan of the instrumental "Spanish Castle Magic" - i just don't like this but the guitar is amazing "Wait Until Tomorrow" - still not a fan "Ain't No Telling" - bruh "Little Wing" - better than the others "If 6 Was 9" - this was kinda cool until the end "You Got Me Floatin'" - i didn't pay much attention but i didn't like it "Castles Made of Sand" - "She's So Fine" - "One Rainy Wish" - this one's better "Little Miss Lover" - "Bold as Love" - the guitar is nice

Interesting music, not my style but very funky.

2. guitar and vocals are great

the first track gives me motion sickness, and the rest is low-key forgettable :(

I've heard so much about Jimi Hendrix over the years, I expected to like this more than I did! Maybe it's just not my album. It grew on me more on the second listen, but I'm not sure I'd come back to it. Known songs going in: 0 Rating: 2.5 Favourite song(s): You Got Me Floating or Castles in the Sand

No really iconic tracks on this collection, such as Hey Joe / Watchtower / Voodoo While I certainly prefer the albums before and after, its still good to have it pop up on the 1001 album challenge

Some classics but didn't like it as much as I thought I would

It’s no Are You Experienced! Fairly mediocre for me

3.7/10

Honrstly, not a Jimi Hendrix fan, this is completely forgettable.

I can hear that it could be good music, but it's clearly not what I like.

You know what? As classic as this is I just don’t think I like guitar god music

The only song I know at a glance is “You Got Me Floating” and that’s because PM Dawn covered it. Generally only know the huge Jimi hits, never listened to a full album. I’m not a guitar nerd. Let’s see how this goes. It’s fine. You Got Me Floatin’ is my pick. The rest of the album is meh. I guess hippie psychedelic rock isn’t for me.

It was okay. Not my vibe.

I thought I would like Jimi better based on how much I have heard about him but he just doesn’t do it for me I’m not sure why

Honestly did not vibe with this nearly as much as I expected. Electric Ladyland was much much better. I’d rather listen to the Jimi neutron theme song 13 times rather than this. Some cool guitar solos and would be pretty sick to see live, but I did not add a single song and will not be listening again. Appreciated the nod to 6ix9ine in the song “If 6 was 9”. 2.2/5

Pretty generic guitar wibbling. No standouts on this album

Still not really into Jimi, I wish I was but I can’t really connect with this on a deep level. Great musician but not my thing. Castles Made of Sand was my favorite of the bunch

Controversial! A few nice standout songs (One Rainy Wish my favourite), but generally I found a lot of these tracks quite dull - it seemed at least twice as long as the 39 minute runtime. The production was bothersome to me, with the stereo panning utterly irritating. 5/10

Jimi certainly has moments that I enjoy, and tasty fills here and there that I can appreciate. I think my problem with his music is that a lot of his songs sounds kind of the same. They have the same vibe and same guitar fills, with some variation here and there. My biggest gripe though is that his singing sounds bored and like he’s talk-singing. And it seems he crams multiple syllables in that doesn’t make sense with the rhythm. I can appreciate that it was sort of revolutionary at the time though and we wouldn’t have a lot of modern music if not for him.

4/10

hmm i didnt like this as much as i hoped to but im hoping to get into him more so id give it another try.

Pass

Guitars just sound better when they’re fuzzy and/or jangly! This album offers these ears very little. - 2/5 🌟

Não sei se entendi muito bem. Achei muito psicodélico.

If 6 was 9 stands out as the hit. Rest of the album wasn’t memorable to me.

It is bold to love anything related to Geometry.

I am sorry. Jimi Hendrix might be a legend but I am not impressed the first time I'm listening. Maybe I should give it a second try.

It was ok. Not really the type of music I like but I can appreciate the talent

It's ok, not as good as his other stuff, but fine if you like Hendrix

Okay, so I really like several Jimi Hendrix songs, but the ones in this album are a bit meh, so I can't really rate this 4 stars. It was overall a bit worse than meh, hence the lower rating, but it's pretty decent for when you're just listening to this in the background.

Boring psychedelic noodling. That's how I honestly felt listening to this. I've never really been into Hendrix though I appreciate his skill and influence.

Interesting, and I get why Hendrix is so popular, but it´s not my style. Not bad, just not for me.

Like most people, I like listening to Jimi Hendrix play the guitar. Unlike a lot of people, I don't like listening to his songs. Pretty much every guitar solo on this sounds great, but many of the songs are held back by clunky choruses or verses. It's telling that the song that's the most immediately enjoyable (though not the best!) is "She's So Fine," the only one he didn't write. Hendrix's songwriting is less polished, like he didn't know how best to work his guitar into the songs. The first few songs especially suffer from this, but the second half is much better. The closer succeeds as a psychedelic jam where precious songs failed, and "One Rainy Wish" is another highlight.

Maybe I’m just havin a bad week, but I really didn’t like this. The echo-y vocals were annoying in parts, and the screeching instrumental at the end of “If 6 Was 9” was unbearable.

love the opening track i really tried but i'm just not into this kinda music

I’ve never been a fan of Hendrix. The distortion grates on me. It’s an ok album, wouldn’t listen again.

Det är för mycket gnissel för min smak.

A hot take of mine has always been that besides the absurdly good Guitar, Hendrix isn’t that great. I don’t enjoy his vocals much. I love the guitar but oh well. I wish I enjoyed him and this more.

Closer to a jazz album than a rock album. Not my style of music but I can understand those who like it.

Did not like it

Ikke lige mig. Skær men fed i tro til gengæld

solid

A skilled musician but not for me.

Disappointing

i guess you had to be there

Yikes, I couldn’t get past the album cover, firstly. Secondly, it’s extremely meh. Some tracks were fine, but others were barely bearable. Safe to say, I do NOT get the hype.

I generously gave 'Are You Experienced' five stars for being an important album despite not really caring for it personally. I can't say this album feels as important, so the tide has rolled out on the rating...

This wasn’t as good as the first Hendrix album. There was some good things here. The overall album felt sloppy and disjointed. Left me disappointed now that I have a gauge as to Jimi’s true potential

Overrated

Quite dull, honestly.

I love me some Hendrix but when I say that I always listen to the hits. Listening to a studio album, I’ll be honest, massively disappointed. Apart from a couple of tracks it didn’t do anything for me at all. Top Track - If 6 Was 9

I've never been a fan of psychedelic rock, but this ain't half-bad. Didn't knock my socks off, but if I heard it again, I wouldn't be mad I did. I see why my Dad had a poster of this in the den when I was a kid.

ok

Ja, er kann Gitarre spielen, aber mir fast zu gut.

A technically really well made album, I just don’t think I’m a Hendrix person and that’s ok. Standout tracks on first listen: ain’t no telling, little wing

Okay. I must have listened to a different album. I have read a bunch of reviews telling me how wonderful this album is, with frequent mentions of different musical styles. All i hear is a bunch of riffs on The Wind Cries Mary, and all of them fairly flaccid imitations. Are You Expirienced is an incandescent bombshell that told us music would never be the same. Electric Ladyland was a masterpiece with a couple of filler tracks. Axis is all filler, no killer.

2.5

Soooooo samey , very boring . Wanted it to end

Never really understood Hendrix that much. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.

Little wing

I know Jimi is a genius. I just don't enjoy listening to his music. A song here or there is fine, but a whole album is just not my thing. Castles Made of Sand is lovely.

Eipä ole Jimi koskaan ollut suosikkejani.

Niot as bad as I thought it would be.

Meh.

Song: little wing this song is good but not a lot of lyrics though but i guess it is good and it sounds longer when he sings it slow but i never heard of this song and it is a little weird Song: castles made of sand this song started okay at first like the guitar this song is good but it is very depressing music so i do not like it Song: one rainy wish this song at first to me was like beach vibes this song is my favorite in the whole album now when the lyrics go it was giving me fourth of july vibes

What is happening on the cover? "Little Wing" was pretty good. I liked it but it was nothing special, just a plain old song to me. " Castles Made of Sand" was okay. Again it was nothing special when you just listen to it. But when you really listen to the lyrics it is a sad song. "One Rainy Wish" was my favorite for no exact reason but it just sounded cool to me. Overall this album is a solid 3 stars and even though it 's pretty good I wouldn' t recomend this alum to anyone since it' s kind of boring.

Just ain't for me.

Second album proposé après 'Electric Ladyland' qui m'avais vraiment déçu. Ce second album n'est guère mieux : quelques morceaux intéressants et beaucoup de remplissage. Aucune envie de l'écouter de nouveau. =>2/5

Kinda meh, not really my vibe :/

I feel like I need a music bro to mansplain Hendrix to me because I don't really get the hype and I don't think this is the album that'll do it for me. I can appreciate the skill and the artistry and the overall vibe really gets me into that mindset where I can picture myself driving down an American highway in the sixties, probably high on something. But that's just it - it's more background music to me and I guess I'm the type of person who needs music to engage me, make me actively listen.

Castles made of sand and little wing doing a lot of heavy lifting on here

Bluesy with lots of guitar solos. This is not my cup of tea at all, style wise. I can see people really liking this album. Doesn't really grab me in any way. 2/5

Super weird intro. Plays a lot with sounds moving from side to side.

Heard bits of it before. I do respect Jimi (fellow leftie) but this album just doesn't click for me 2/5

2+ Stars (6/15)

Searching for a sound recquires quite a bit of noise.

I like the funkier bass sounds of the first couple songs, but the rest of the album was hard to pay attention to

Not to my liking! Have never got on with Jimi Hendrix and have not understood why he is regarded so highly. But then other people are entitled to their opinion!

i wish i was experimental enough to give credits and have something to say but actually it's not my cup of tea

I often heard a Best Of growing up as my mum likes him, but this is my first time actually listening to an album. A few massive tunes but not impressed overall, feels like there's a lot of filler

I didn't really like it. But then again I'm pretty particular with music. Just like, the vocals weren't very good/special and also the guitar wasn't that interesting. Some of the more African influences were interesting. Wouldn't listen to again. Songs I liked most were Castles Made of Sand and Bold as Love (good instrumental last minute).

Legende? Ja, mag sein. Heißt aber nicht, dass das jedem gefällt. Experimentell? Ja! Musik zum Genießen? Eher nicht!

Not a Hendrix fan

Too experimental for me. Although he's one of the greatest guitarists, I expected more vocals and fully produced music.

I'm sure he was good at the guitar and stuff, but this really isn't a great album.

Bit of a chore. Some attention grabbing songs like Spanish Castle Magic but ultimately not for me

I wasn’t a huge fan. I did like the use of stereo and making it sound like the music was all over the room, and sometimes circling you… but overall I give it 4.7/10 I guess I just don’t like messy electric guitar solos. But after hearing some of John Mayer’s covers of these songs, I just can’t listen to the original and like it as much or more… sorry Jimmy, John did it better IMO.

Up and down record. The standouts are Castles Made of Sand and Axis.

I don't think I appreciate high level guitar enough to really get this one, and the oft-imitated 60's cultural touchstones really catch for me. Definitely channeling "ratings are for personal taste and not quality assessments" thing today.

a little too abstract for my taste but i can admire his guitar skills

Unfortunately, I didn't vibe with this as much as I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, Hendrix was a spectacular guitarist, legendary. But a lot of the music here simply doesn't interest me. I've heard that "Little Wing" is one of Jimi's most enduring tracks. After my initial listen of the album, I went back and listened to the song four times in a row. The guitar in it is good, but I don't know... I tried, but didn't suck me in. If anything, I found myself drawn to the light touches of the glockenspiel. Perhaps it's just that these jams don't sound fresh to me, listening in 2025. I'm sure they were decades ago. I think my favourite track here is actually the most pop of the lot, "Wait Until Tomorrow". There's something about the steady beat and the vocal harmonies that stabilize the song, establish a point of focus, for Hendrix to run circles around. Ironically, I found it to be where his guitar work shone the most. At the end of the day, what I find interesting only shows up in snippets, and it's not an album I loved. Fav tracks: Wait Until Tomorrow, Castles Made of Sand, Bold as Love

Semmone

Bleh

Vähän liian rento alkuun. Bold as love on loistava. Muuten vähän tylsistyin.

Musically quite cool but boring and repetitive. I feel like everything from this era is going to be the same. I'm not doing an 8 hour trip on shrooms to enjoy a poxy 40 minute album

I appreciated some mean guitar playing, but I didn't think there was much in the way of good songs. I found this one quite ignorable.

Not as good as Taylor Swift

Some good songs but I think these Hendrix albums don’t have the same impact now as they did when they were first released and reviewed. Jimi’s techniques have been discovered and incorporated into everything - 50 years of other guitar players doing this kinda take the shine off the OG material

Little Wing is a fantastic song and Castles Made of Sand is really good. The rest, not so much. Jimi might’ve been a guitar god, but he was not a songwriting wizard

Obviously Hendrix’s guitar skills are undeniable, but some of the extra noises and effects added to a few of the songs are grating and I had to skip (example: EXP).

Lige gyldigt Hendrix. Jeg blev slet ikke fanget af noget her. Jo bevares guitar guden kan spille, men her var det bare ikke spændende..

I mean, it's good, but not my speed. A little noodly at points.

Could be worse, not really my thing.

It was okay. I liked some of the songs.

Thought maybe this would be more interesting because I was only familiar with Little Wing, and that was only due to a cover version on Layla by Derek and the Dominos. Alas, this was pretty blah, with short songs and so-so guitar work.

This was pretty meh tbh.

I understand that Hendrix is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but talent does not necessarily translate into listenability.

Great skill does not equal great music. Man, this just wasn’t for me. Couldn’t finish because I felt angry at wasting my own time.

little wing

Same as l'autre, très meh

Not an album I will enjoy going back to. Very forgettable, even though I like jimi hendrix

Early Hendrix...

Liked most of the tracks, but not all.

It‘s too annoying in its whole length that some few gems („Little Wing“) don’t make my low interest switch into awe.

2.5

The best Jimi Hendrix songs are actually Stevie Ray Vaughan songs

Little Wing is here, but not much more.

Not really something I liked, I appreciate the artistry though.

Not my cup of tea 2/5

Bland

This screamed difficult second album. Pleasant but noodly.

Very cool and I can appreciate the innovation of his sound. However, it rarely is a sound that I seek out - a bit too hard and a bit too chaotic

Dad kept turning it down

Wow, shouldn’t have listened to this first thing in the morning. It’s all a bit too heavy for me.

Not my thing…gave me a headache

Snoreeeeee

Classical Jimi Hendrix, just not fan

Very weird experience. Not a fan, although it can be a cool background music.

Nothing stood out

Is this a demo record? It feels like this is a group of rough ideas jammed out by a group of improvising musicians. The way some of the tracks fade out feels like the engineer took a 15 minute take and just cut it off when he got bored. I was expecting just to slap a 3 on some dated, middle-of-the-road 60's trash guitar rock, but this is actively a bad album.

Surprised how little I enjoyed this

Noy My kind of music

I wish I liked Jimi, just not technical enough and not soulful enough.

Sorry Jimi, I've never been the biggest fan. And this album didn't do anything for me 2 stars

Meh not quite my cup of tea

can shred tho could i write poetry to this? n

It was OK but I think its the weakest of his 3 albums. I admire his musical genius but just find his sound (especially his solos) a bit to raw and messy for me. This should be right in my wheelhouse alongside all the other late 60s psychedelic rock bands that I love, but its not. I think I'm probably a Jimi Hendrix 'Greatest Hits' kinda guy.

* Very unexpected intro to the album. Tbh, pretty grating on the ears. Safe to say that's likely going and staying at the bottom of the album rankings; will be very hard to beat I think. I wasn't sure if I should even include it, since most of it is dialogue. Does seem to have some "music" at the end though... and it is on the album so... * Don't have much to say about this one. Kinda blah album. Didn't end up earning a one star at the very least. -- Album Rankings -- 1. Little Wing 2. You Got Me Floatin' 3. Up from the Skies 4. Wait Until Tomorrow 5. One Rainy Wish 6.

Don't mind a bit of Jimi H. A high 2.

Hendrix has done much better than this

A couple of tracks that made me get my groove on, but I think I was waiting for a Purple Haze moment that never came.

Eh, sure everyone’s very proficient but it just left me cold. I think it might have sounded better if I’d been on drugs…..

I can’t have listened to this since the mid-80s. A friend from back then had this album and it was good to hear it again. But sad to think he was singing lyrics “never to grow old”. Most of the tracks aren’t that memorable tho. EXP reminds me of The Carpenters’ “Calling Occupants” Favourite track - Little Wing

Not a big fan. Wasn’t my favorite. The guitar riffs were kinda cool but overall not my jam.

It was so-so.

Again surprised this album is on the list, Would hope "Are you experienced?" would be around instead of this album.

Eh. Not my type

dislike

Massvis med talang, men alldeles för ojämnt och experimentellt. Man får verkligen känslan att de bara ställt sig i studion och kört utan att anstränga sig allt för mycket. Stark tvåa

Bra grund men synd att även producenten tog syra. Hade kunnat vara så mycket bättre.

Gotta love Hendrix to like his albums

Ken zijn werk niet zo heel goed behalve de hitjes, maar had hier toch iets meer van verwacht eigenlijk.

Ikkje lika bra som Are You Experienced

Not too much my style. Voice is dim and drums loud.

Flashes of brilliance, but also lots of odd moments I did not enjoy. From what I’ve heard, Joni Hendrix is an artist I like listening to one song at a time rather than an album.

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Decent but not a dent on his other work Favourite song: didn’t have one

Its Okay.

Možda dvije tri koje mi odgovaraju, ostale ne

Castles made of sand leuk natuurlijk, rest een beetje saai imo

Mäßiger Psychedelic Rock.

Not super impressed with this. It has a lot of 'they'll pay me to shit on stage' vibe. It takes over halfway through the album before anything really worth listening to comes on and that's after the song 'If 6 Was 9', which makes you want to turn the album off. Folks can give this one a pass.

Vibey for sure. Not my favorite for easy listening but very vibey

- Exp me ha hecho estallar los oídos, no ha sido un buen comienzo... - El disco en sí no está mal, pero no es mi estilo

mehh not my favorite

Castles made of sand is nice summer vibey song. I like the soft beginning of One Rainy Wish

очень сложно. имя этого музыканта известно, но как-то мимо как гитарист могу подметить музыку, но так выше 2 не могу, может 2+ и панорама моментами просто ужас

Si vabbeh Jimi Hendrix, ma su questo album riascolterei solo Little Wing. Per non parlare dell’intro rumorosa dell’album, mi innervosisce

Couldn’t get myself to listen to every song. It’s like either the guitar just doesn’t sound good or his lyrics don’t work with the instruments. Like the lines are too long and sound like he’s trying his best to make it work but it’s failing. Even if done intentionally, it’s just done poorly in my opinion

I liked some songs but then the homie just whips out the screechy guitar for no reason, even if it doesn’t match half the album. Funky Funky Sixties, huh?

Very familiar with the singles looking forward to the rest!

Didn't like it

Okay

Mjeh I dont really care for him.

Meh. A great guitarist but the songs are poor. I thought Little Wing was supposed to be a masterpiece? Vastly overhyped, it would get 2.5 stars if I could give it - but that option isn't available and I'm not prepared to round it up, so 2 it is.

Wasn’t crazy about this tbh. The style had me interested at first but as the album continues it just feels like a copy and paste of the same formula.

Feels like two albums: one thoughtfully written and the other a haphazard assemblage of guitar riffs and meandering melodic lines. One Rainy Wish is the only standout song and even it fails to deliver.

Hendrix isn't for me. Talented musician, but not certain he's a great songwriter.

2.75

A few good songs on here, but overall, the album is pretty slow and uninteresting. Tried listening to it a few times over but it just wouldn't keep my attention. Hendrix is amazing on the guitar, but overall, it just doesn't do it for me.

It’s okay

Couldn't keep my attention all the way through

that's too experimental for me...
